Academic Shoot

Rule: Avoiding Mergers because when I tried to take the picture from behind, the phone was going through her head.
Subject: Phone
Is it clear? Yes because the focus is directly on the phone and the bright colors draw your eye.



Rule: This could have been a better example of balance if I had the line of the window be centered in the middle of the photograph.
Subject: Outside
Is it clear? No the subject is not clear because the photo is cluttered and uncentered.



Rule: Framing
Subject: Teacher and Flag
Is it clear? Yes the focus is clear because the only part of the photo that is visible is the woman and the flag which draws your eye.



Rule: I think the adjacent lines of the colored pencils gives the picture the rule of lines, but it definitely could have been improved if they were pointing to a focal point.
Subject: Color
Is it clear? No the subject is not clear and is more abstract without a clear focal point.



Rule: Rule of Thirds because when you first look the computer in the upper left screen is the focal point and the three kids are on the right side.
Subject: Laptop
Is it clear: In the aspect of rule of thirds it draws your eye to the top left but the picture is also cluttered so the subject of the picture isn't perfectly clear.



Rule: Simplicity
Subject: Girl's face
Is it clear? Yes the subject is clear because it's directly focused on the girls face like a portrait style.
